Sorry for the delay but I've been rather busy, and I'll be out for the
weekend too.

relevant sensors-detect output:
Driver `lm80' (should be inserted):
Detects correctly:
* Bus SMBus Via Pro adapter at 5000' (Algorithm unavailable)
Busdriver 2c-viapro', I2C address 0x2d

I'm not too concerned with the LM80 chip because via686a has the info I
really need.
Also, as stated in the 2.6 kernel information on the lm_sensors site, the
via686a and i2c-viapro don't work together, so I've been using
only i2c-isa with via686a, and not i2c-viapro with lm80 too. Just pointed
this out, in case it makes a difference to the detection process
(probably not because LM80 is also detected in kernel 2.4).
Have a nice weekend folks :)
